Behind defenses my heart aches
. for countless souls
. both lost and new
but it has only fractured wide
. for just a special few
For these uncommon cases broke
. a chasm
. to my very core
which some have crafted now to be
. an ever open door
While others have inflicted there
. throughout the gorges
. deep inside
an open wound that will not heal
. and I can never hide
Though open doors and open wounds
. bring deepest joy
. and deepest pain
I know it is
. when all pain ends
. the joy that shall remain
